Protesters gathered outside the Permanent Mission of El Salvador to the United Nations to read names of detainees at El Salvador's CECOT prison. A hacker exposed flight manifests revealing over 40 undocumented migrants whose deportations were unacknowledged by the Trump administration. The total deported to CECOT reached at least 281, violating a federal judge's block on the flights. Activists highlight the lack of acknowledgment from the U.S. government regarding the fate of these individuals and the absence of legal processes in their deportation.
"These were disappearances," said one immigrant rights expert of the revelation that dozens of people who have never been acknowledged by the Trump administration were listed on flight manifests for three deportation flights from Texas to El Salvador in March.
Michelle Brané of the immigrant rights group Together and Free told 404 Media, 'we have this list of people that the U.S. government has not formally acknowledged in any real way and we pretty much have no idea if they are in CECOT or someplace else, or whether they received due process.'
